The new version of the Club World Cup held this summer has greatly expanded the participating teams to 32 teams, making the Club World Cup a "new gold mine" that various clubs have been jealous of. The Club World Cup champion Chelsea has accumulated a prize of US$110 million, which is really a win between fame and fortune. Major European giants hope to "increase" various opportunities to make money. Real Madrid took the lead in launching an action, requiring FIFA to change the Club World Cup from once every four years to once every two years, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to increase the club's revenue. Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona and Naples, which have been ineligible for this year, will immediately agree.

The total prize money for this Club World Cup reached US$1 billion, of which US$525 million is the "guaranteed bonus". All participating teams have participated in the division, and there are bonuses for each win or advancement. Club World Cup champion Chelsea and runner-up Paris Saint-Germain won a prize of more than US$100 million.

Real Madrid, which stopped in the top four in the Club World Cup, also earned nearly 82.52 million US dollars. After tasting the sweetness, he naturally hoped to taste it again. Real Madrid made suggestions to FIFA to change the Club World Cup to once every two years, and all the wealthy families made a fortune together. Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona and Naples missed the first new version of the Club World Cup and missed the opportunity to "gold rush", so they immediately spoke out for Real Madrid's suggestions.

However, FIFA still retains some things because football competitions are too frequent and have long been criticized. Various international competitions have been arranged until 2030. FIFA has no intention of hosting the Club World Cup in 2027, but after it is held in 2029, it may be changed to biennials.
